A Bouquet of Roses!

The PDCCW Board of Directors congratulates our 2024 Rose Award Scholarship winners, Penelope McVay of Sacred Heart parish in Peoria and Kathryn Russell of St. Philomena parish in Peoria. They are pictured here with PDCCW Vice-President and Chair of Women Connect Ministry, April Adams.

These young women were honored at our Second Annual day of "Prayer, Honor, and Blessings." The weather was GORGEOUS and perfect for honoring Our Lady with a Mass and May Crowning held at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Germantown Hills. After Mass, which was officiated by Father Chase Hilgenbrinck, everyone processed to the Grotto to pray the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Other graduating senior girls were also recognized: Avery Beltramea, Elizabeth "Ella" Coulter, Ellie Goble, Josie Hess, Georganna Laake, Katy Olsen, Clare Phillips, Kayla Ratermann, Karla Andrea Ramirez Rodriguez, Marin, Ruskusky, Molly Schultz, Maria Veliz, and Clare Vogel.

Thank you to all who attended to support these young women! The future looks bright for our Church!
